At the end of the day, a total of more than $4,500 was raised from the Charity Auction and other monetary donations.

As a result of the auction, District 19 will be able to make a $650 donation to charitable organizations already identified in each of the seven counties it serves. The donations are being made to those charitable organizations coordinating programs for underprivileged children in the area this holiday season.

"I would like to recognize and thank all those who made the 11th annual District 19 Charity Auction a success," said Captain Fraser. "If it was not for the continued generosity of those involved, these monetary donations would not have been possible. If your organization works with underprivileged children and would like to be considered for future donations, contact Sergeant Mark Zimmerman at 382-4606."
